238A Franklin Ave APT 1B, Brooklyn, NY 11205

Contract Signed. APT: Bigger is Better! As the Grand Dame Duplex in the building, enjoy over 2200SF and 10' ceilings plus an open floor plan that gives top priority to living and dining. The eat-in cook's kitchen is perfectly suited for entertaining company; while the bedrooms in the rear of the home offer garden views and complete privacy when desired. Currently configured as a 2/3 bedroom plus den, it is easy to restore the original floor plan of 3/4 bedrooms with room for more. The lower level houses the laundry room, 3rd bathroom and another bedroom; and abounds with space and awaits your customization. The private garden is the payoff, and the perfect backdrop for dining al fresco or a classic Summertime BBQ. BLDG: Being a part of this close-knit community comes with its perks as well. In addition to the low common charges and 421-a tax abatement (exp. 2019), this boutique condo has a common roof deck with amazing city views, storage, and a super that takes great care of the property. Pet friendly. NEIGHBORHOOD: Arguably, this part of Bed-Stuy bordering Clinton Hill is the intersection of all your needs: G train with increased service, B38 to Downtown Brooklyn; grocery shopping at Key Food or Millennium (organic); dry cleaning at Merit Cleaners; wine from Bouchon; and fine food and drink from Umi Nom, Black Swan, and the artisan doughnut shop, DOUGH (so good, should be outlawed!) THE DEAL: At only $585/SF, this mammoth Duplex is priced to sell and is your chance to live large.
